Things to be aware of with your motor insurance policy

An insurance policy is a financial agreement between OQIC and you. To protect your rights and to secure compliance of OQIC as a financial organisation, the Sultanate of Oman has mandated how comprehensive and third partly liability insurances works in terms of covers

For Comprehensive Insurances

The owner of the vehicle has to pay a small part of the spare parts used for repairing the car once the car is older than one year. However, this can be waived by purchasing the ‘No Depreciation of Spare Parts’ (Agency Repair) Optional cover.
Claims repairs will always be done at the car brand’s agency during the first year of registration. Thereafter, OQIC can choose to use another workshop of comparable quality. If you wish to ensure your car be repaired at the workshop of the agency even after a year, then you can buy the ‘Agency Repair’ Optional cover.
